Drace (dracenines) | 7558 comments There are errors to clean up with the book Nefando by Mónica Ojeda.

1. All Editions: https://www.goodreads.com/work/editio...

- The Original Publication Date is incomplete. It should be September 19, 2016.

===

2. First Spanish Edition: Nefando (ISBN 9788415934233)

- The Publication Date is incomplete. It should be September 19, 2016.

- The ASIN 8415934238 also needs to be in the ISBN-10 field.

===

3. US Paperback: Nefando (ISBN 9781566896894)

- The page count is incorrect. I’m holding a copy and it stops at 170.

- The description is incorrectly formatted. It needs to read as follows:
A techno-horror portrait of the fears and desires of six young artists whose lives are upended by a controversial video game, from National Book Award finalist Mónica Ojeda.

Six young artists share an apartment in Barcelona: Kiki Ortega, a researcher writing a pornographic novel; Iván Herrera, a writer whose prose reveals a deeply conflicted relationship with his body; three siblings, Irene, Emilio, and Cecilia, who quietly search for ways to transcend their abuse as children; and El Cuco Martínez, a video-game designer whose creations push beneath the substrate of the digital world. All of them are connected in different ways to Nefando, a controversial cult video game whose purpose remains a mystery. In the parallel reality of the game, players found relief from the pain of past trauma and present shame, but also a frighteningly elastic sense of self and ethics. Is Nefando a game for horror enthusiasts, a challenge to players' morals, or a poetic exercise? What happens in a virtual world that admits every taboo?

Unsparing, addictive, and perverse, Nefando takes us to the darkest corners of the web, revealing the inevitable entanglement of digital and physical worlds, and of technology and horror.

4. US Kindle: Nefando (ASIN B0CPNCRZHG)

- The description is incorrect. It should be the same as Entry 3.

===

5. Invalid Edition: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

This edition’s blank and just needs to be invalidated.

Thanks for your help. The ISBN-10 8415934238 isn't listed on any Kindle edition; it's missing from the site entirely. Could you please try adding it to that edition?

I still won't be able to add it though, as the whole ISBN/ASIN fi..."
